A custom cat photo book about their whole life

Your cat has been photographed asleep in every room of the house. A custom cat photo book from ourTailTales gathers those pictures into a hardcover about their life: the kitten months, the favorite windows, the boxes, the moves.

Make their book. It’s free

Free to make and read. Hardcover from $69.99 $52.49, 25% off until November 30.

There is no cat photo album to lay out by hand. You drop in their photos, any album and any order. We sort them into chapters by the times and places of their life and write a short story for each one. You can edit every title and line, and choose the cover photo, before you order.

Café in the City suits the apartment cat with a view of the street. Sweet Dreams, all moons and soft clouds, suits the cat who naps most of the day, which is most cats.

It makes a lovely cat mom gift, too. If your sister, partner or friend has a phone full of their cat, borrow the photos and make the book for them. Extra copies of the same book are 20% off, so the whole family can have one.

Good questions

Questions, answered

Is it just for dogs?

No. It works just as well for cats. When you start, you tell us they are a cat, and their story is written about them.

How many photos do I need?

At least 25 usable photos for the hardcover. Each chapter uses 5 to 30 photos, so a bigger album fills more chapters without repeating a picture.

Can I give it as a cat mom gift?

Yes. If you have photos of their cat, make the book and have the hardcover sent to them, anywhere in the United States. Extra copies of the same book are 20% off.

Can I see the book before I pay?

Yes. Add your photos and we build a free preview in minutes. The first 10 pages are free to read, and the whole book opens with a free account. No credit card needed. Only order the hardcover once you have read it and love it.

How much does the hardcover cost?

$69.99 covers the hardcover and its first 5 chapters, with the digital PDF included. During our launch sale, every hardcover is 25% off until November 30, so it starts at $52.49. Longer stories can add chapters. Making the book and reading the preview are free. Shipping is added at checkout, and we ship within the United States.

Their story is still in your camera roll.

Let’s get it out and onto paper, where it belongs.
